The Trial of Derek Chauvin - Judgement(?) Day(?) has arrived!

[Special Agent Punchy]

I was shooting the shit with a friend this weekend about why the Supreme Court is all Jews and Catholics and my theory is that both groups have 2000+ years of debating whether a sea turtle is a fish or whether raspberries contain hidden insects.

No topic too obscure or theoretical not to sperg at length about.

Yeah, a willingness to throw down and potentially have your mind changed by a debate goes a long way in fostering competence in any field. I don’t know about Catholics, but lively disagreement about important ideas seems pretty central to Jewish culture (and certain other denominations of the Christian church). My pet theory has been that this accounts for most of the overrepresentation of Jews in positions that require critical thinking. Aggreableness really is the enemy of clear/persuasive thought.
Everyone should learn to participate in debate; instead we’ve raised two generations of children to be “kind” and “respectful”(read: condescending) to people they fundamentally disagree with.

maybe this is off topic, but gosh this testimony is boring

Lol at the pros stopping the video clip before GF starts kicking his way out of the car and starting the next one when he's already out of the car. They cut that before he started kicking the officers while on the ground.
"At that point he was complying"

And there's the opening for the counter for the defense. Surely they have the same footage to use.

Welcome to a trial. This is real life, not Perry Mason.

We're raising kids to act like that some of the time, but the rest of the time we're raising them to act like seeing a MAGA hat in the wild is literal violence.

Right! They’re completely unprepared to participate in noviolent forms of battle(debate/conversation) so they have no choice but to treat disagreement as violence.

I want this tard to go mano a mano with a hood rat the size of a lowland gorilla high on all kinds of shit and see when he has time to refer to little chart

No, no, no.... THOSE people are the ones who weren't raised to be kind and considerate, so they want to kill you.

OVERRULED

Break time soon, judge needs coffee to get through this snorefest

 

[Special Agent Punchy]

So based on what this guy is saying, if I’m about to get arrested I should just tell them that I’m having the vapors so they mustn’t disturb me lest I drop dead.

then they’ll let me go, right?

 

[TLEN]

Depends. Are you the niggest or just well done?
Your chances decrease as skin tone gets brighter.

The individual does not appear to be a threat to the officer at this time. He has no weapons and can be heard saying he cant breathe. The individual is not objecting police custody per se; rather, he is objecting to being placed in handcuffs.

pol stream got shut downnn

Prosecution said the magic word (break)

Judge flew the fuck out of his seat FAST

 

[Some JERK]

I wonder if the Judge is quietly packing up all of the shit in his chambers and getting quotes from moving companies during these breaks?

 

[MoeChotto]

This is so fucking boring. Nelson was right this morning, this guy's so redundant considering prosecution called just about every other member of the MPD force, a quack Irish doctor, a flighty old woman, and 3 other unrelated doctors to say the exact same things with no new substance. I hope Nelson disassembles this identical testimony the same way he did with all the other interchangeable witnesses.

it's back up again. not sure what the deal is today.

 

[Feline Supremacist]

I can see why he takes frequent breaks. The prosecution puts me to sleep.
